----------------------------------
Summary: Generics, provide access to parent object
Key: AVRO-2402
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2402
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.10.0
Reporter: Werner Daehn
Imagine you are within the GenericRecord Employee->Addresses. You have all
fields of the Addresses Schema of course but what if you need to read something
from the parent, the employee record?
You would need to remember the entire parent tree, which is fine if you are
just one level deep but can be cumbersome when the structure is 10 levels deep.
I'd like the GenericDatumReader to return objects that have the methods
* getParent()
* getRoot()
as well.
